Secret Services

"Are intelligence agencies corrupt to the core?"

Allegedly, the US secret services are involved in many illegal operations: coups, illegal wiretapping, covering up government corruption, and assassinations (like JFK, Malcolm X, or Martin Luther King). In particular, the CIA is rumoured to be entangled in large-scale drug trafficking to finance its clandestine activities. British, Russian, and Israeli intelligence agencies are also repeatedly linked to serious crimes. Some conspiracy theorists claim, for example, that Mossad orchestrated the 9/11 attacks and warned Jewish people in advance to ensure their safety – a demonstrably false claim. The truth is: intelligence agencies are certainly no saints, but not every political assassination can be attributed to them.
